Draft:
As usual, the snaking draft order is determined based on last year's results. With 11 returning teams and 3 new teams, this means that the 5 worst returning teams select 1-5, the 3 new teams select 6-8, and the top 6 teams select 9-14.
As a result, the draft order is this (keepers in parentheses):
1. brazuca
2. the cgb spenders (S. Stamkos, M.A. Fleury)
3. Quebec Roy-Hoos
4. Iceholes
5. The Grind Line
6. Puck_Giggles
7. Gongshow
8. classless suban4
9. Your Mom
10. Old No. 7
11. Dwagonz
12. Mikeys66ers (S. Crosby, J. Neal)
13. Ending on a Hinote (A. Ovechkin, P. Rinne)
14. Nailers (J. Quick, E. Karlsson)
Schedule:
Scheduling this year is primarily against division opponents. The first seven weeks will consist of 1 game against each division opponent and 1 inter-division game. The inter-division game is based on last year's finish, such that the worst team in the lower division plays the worst team in the upper division, and so on. Weeks 8-12 consist of 3 or 4 more division games depending again on last year's finish. As a reward, the top 4 teams in the upper division get a game scheduled against the bottom 4 teams in the lower division. As a result, each team should be scheduled to play 10 or 11 division games with 1 or 2 inter-division games depending on last year's finish.

Welcome back everyone for this shortened season! Rest assured whoever wins this season will feel the guilt of knowing they could only win half a season. Regardless, best of luck.
Scoring is the same as last year. I switched up the divisions. To be a jerk, I put the top 7 teams from last year in the upper division and the bottom 4 and the noobs in the lower division.
Speaking of which, welcome to Gongshow, classless_suban4, and Puck_Giggles.
As usual, 2 keepers, as desired... if you don't want any keepers, toss everyone back and enjoy your first round picks. If more than 2 keepers are selected I WILL choose the 2 LOWEST ranked players from the players selected, so please select no more than 2 keepers. As per the Yahoo! rules, new teams will get to select in lieu of taking keepers.
